A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.
So the other morning I sat down with HR to my breakfast of ham cubes (well, that’s what they look like, right?), eggs and toast.
Sleepily took a bite of toast …
… and spotted the rare GrapeJelly Splattered Scrubwren!
Sadly, birdlike, she didn’t linger on my plate very long before “flying” away.
This morning we picked up breakfast sandwiches and coffee and headed over to Savannah’s beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery for a forenoon (Isn’t that a cool word?) picnic.
Walking afterwards, we came across her …
“What’s going on here?” I quietly asked.
(I had to repeat my question several times before she answered me.)
I had to lean in to hear her.
“Angeling is hard work.”
I simply nodded and motioned for Robert to soundlessly move along.
I can’t remember the last time I actually jumped.
Can you? 
And at 72, why would I jump?
Maybe a teeny, tiny “jump” when HR sneaks up behind and tickles me. But that hardly qualifies as a legitimate jump, does it?
Grandson Gabriel participated in a basketball tournament up in Atlanta this weekend.
He’s a great jumper.
Perhaps I could learn a lesson or two from G.
I set forth an intention to look for ways to jump this coming week.
Join me?
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
I have been a bit lax with blog posts for a week or so. Dealing with a few issues.
But here are some Happy Bringers (a day late) :
1. This beautiful old, OLD live oak tree near us here in Historic District Savannah. It may be gnarled and off-balance a bit (hmmm, so am I), but it is magnificent in its glorious longevity.
2. HR, with his shiny pate, working on our sidewalk plants.
3. My Cold Scallop Salad for dinner tonight.
4. Placing one foot in front of the other in life.
5. Realizing that sometimes we have to get closer to see simple and natural beauty.
May you see some beauty this weekend!
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Robert’s golden beet soup …
… with fresh parsley, black sesame seeds and naan.
2. And speaking of food, remember the silly post I recently did about a very large spring onion HR found?
Here’s what he did with it.
A deliciously juicy, tender and flavorful roasted … yum.
3. Learning something new this week …
I didn’t realize there was a Universal Sign for Help, did you? 
4. This …
What do you mean, you don’t really see anything? Look closer!
Still nothing?
Actually, what you’re seeing is what I often see when I walk out my front door: a few blocks away, past the trees and traffic, a massive container ship (which sort of looks like a building) …
… maneuvering its course down the Savannah River and out into the Atlantic Ocean.
I’m not sure why this sight brings me a bit of happiness. Maybe because that ship is so WORLD BOUND while I’m just heading to Kroger.
5. Twin Beauty.
May your weekend be Quadruple Beauty!
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … Benny, hard at work.
Marveling!
One of the joys of warmer weather here in Savannah is the advent of the Spring Onion.
I love them!
Beautifully delicious little breakfast at Origin Coffee Bar near us here in Savannah.
